The most massive foundation of the first section of three is well done and it might go fast now, as long as material is avaliable, like sand and cement, using the old bricks to build the walls under the floor-level. Let's see also in regard of water as the plastic tank, out of what ever reason, is now empty and all others have only little rest.

Sure, since no roof and no protection of the shrine, stronger rains will not be expect till the main works are done.

If all goes fine, Atma thinks that the foundation of the first section can be made today. Living, working, in the wild, mountains, isn't a theoretical stuff, very complex and one has to be quick. Changing something, easy waterways are changed, and even small careless and not-investigated ways can cause 100 of tons to fall and uge mass can be swept away in minutes by strong rains, undermining just a single rock. So one has to be quick and things can not be delayed. It's somehow like if wishing to see through the complexities of Kamma and new needs to follow strict the natures rules to get the uge sankhara a little settled and possible to use.

Since the roof are is actually a huge space, Atma thinks to integrate a room, a kuti, with pleasing terrace into it. Lets see...

The exit-door to the south west, might be good to organize, as maybe possible to set it and make the south-west stairway in the next view days. Yet not a hindrance for progress at all. The five bags of cement left may last for 4 or five days concret and brick laying work. Sand as well.

Still a little troubled by flu or cold, Atma didn't went for alms another day, Nyom Moritz, thoughtful, organized and gave some, having gone to the village looking for his food.

Where best to look for, what marks the most clear sign of "peace with all being"... so good to fix the altar and to clean the Buddha images, Sanna, fist and it might take some more hours, now with good and enough light.

Thoughtful the devoted Upasaka, Upasika, gave 5 bulb and it's like daytime when using them. Although 3 of the five old, already four years in use, still gave light, they had been already weak and only less leds still in function.

So it will be no problem, if wishing, to work 24h, day and night, or in shifts to finish the tasks.

The old wall isn't fit to be removed step by step and stands since beginning by luck. It's much to dangerous to stay or work under it, even inside, althought it will collaps in the middle to the south, all needs to be removed and best to make it as soon as possible since a stronger wind blow, stronger rain touching the ground or little earth vibration will bring it easy to fall. Atma thinks that if two people hitting/pushing the wall in the crown of the arch with longer heavier wood scantlings it will quick clap and fall down. Let's see, maybe Nyom Chanroth has time.

Good to remove all inside, especially the Buddha images, to prevent damage. Of course there will be no rain and whether protection for a good while and sure, next to building not really a comfortable time till the new wall and roof might be finished.
